Embarrassment ????? EMBARRESSMENT???? think it's the press who is embarrassing
:head_bang:head_bang:head_bang Why does the FCUKING press just let him be!!!!!!
It makes me so angry..I wouldn't like paparazzies following my every move..
It's not like he chose to be royal himself..
I'm sure some of you have another opinion about that,but I feel so sorry for him
Prince Harry is "dangerously becoming an embarrassment to this country", a veteran royal photographer has said.
Arthur Edwards, who works for The Sun newspaper, criticised the 22-year-old Army officer over pictures which showed him allegedly lashing out at a member of the paparazzi as he left a nightclub.
Edwards called Harry a "fabulous young man" but said he should be "behaving a lot better".
The Prince is currently on leave from the Army ahead of being sent to Iraq for a six-month tour of duty.
Speaking to the BBC, Edwards said: "I think Prince Harry is dangerously becoming an embarrassment to this country.

There are also rumors about the goverment session hacking (they can see everything I'm doing on the internet)
Now this ask's questions about free speach and how far it goes ?
I know that sentence condridicts it's self but you see what I'm getting at.

Here is the question. Does freedom of speech mean we should shut our mouths when it comes to certain topics ?
Pirate parties in squat houses!! Have apparently been squat parties in Denmark too :weee:
I know that most people here don't care about what happen in little Denmark,but I'll post it anyway :groucho:
For me it sometimes looks like that people in Denmark is more interested in fighting for their right to party..
(Not always in the right way though)
Why is that ??
Quote:
The eviction of Ungdomshuset has created a vacuum in Copenhagen. Several squat actions are now being carried out to fill it up.
Friday 6. April and Saturday 7. April 07 activists took five empty houses in Copenhagen and began parties here. Two of the five houses – in Sydhavnen and Christianshavn – were cleared yesterday, Sunday 8. April 07. Eight activists were arrested – two of them were released the same day. The others are expected to be released today, Monday.
Friday 6. April an empty house in Amager was taken and used for pirate party all night long. Hundreds of activists joined the dancing party, and thus the police was absolutely in the minority and did not dare to intervene. Saturday 7. April an other empty house was taken in Christianshavn.
Also on this occasion the police chose to stay away and let the party be all night. At Sunday noon, after the party was over, the police cleared the building and arrested six activists, who were still inside the house where a staircase was barricaded.
The squatted house is owned by Kulturarvsstyrelsen, which is an institution of the Ministry of Culture. According to the activists who took the house, the building has been left empty for a long time. In spite of this the director of Kulturarvsstyrelsen asked the police to clear the house. Eight activists were arrested – two of them were released the same day. The others are expected to be released today.
These pirate parties have been carried out without confrontations with the police. It indicates that Easter has been used for phasing out overtime work among the police. It seems as if the police does not dare to keep on
calling in extra men in short time notice. Probably because they don’t want to stress the cops more than the latest months’ actions already have done. Thus it looks like the Youth House movement is winning against the exhaustion strategy of the police.
On former occasions in Nørrebro and Nordvest the police has chosen to shut down pirate parties violently with the use of batons and dogs. Both times it led to confrontations between police and party participants. After the party in Nordvest the police had to send home several cars with flat tires and other damages.
The squat actions and parties during this weekend were carried out in spite of an official statement from the police of Copenhagen, which says that all attempts to squat houses will be cleared as soon as possible. The police is worried about a situation where the empty houses will be barricaded and defended.

the story is here
are you A or B
Why do we still get up at cockcrow and when the cows moo,
when only 5% of the population work within agriculture or fishing?
Why does everything have to take place in the same rhythm and pace,
resulting in a huge problem with our infrastructure?
Why has the societal framework primarily been arranged to suit
people working from 8 am to 4 pm?
Let the tyranny of A-time end. Let us create a B-society.
Let us create B-patterns in our work and in our families.
Let us have quiet mornings and active evenings.
Life is too short for traffic jams. Let us have more all-night shops!
There is a general consensus that, in the future, Denmark and many other
countries will have to make a living from the inner processes of thought,
i.e. ideas, creativity, innovation and design. In the innovation society we
will be paid for thinking – and this work of thought is an inner process best
stimulated when working rhythms and working hours are individual.
It therefore becomes important to work when one is most productive.
B-society has good social economics as it generates quality of life as well
as productivity if B-persons work when they are at their mental peak.
B-Science
Science has shown that our biological rythms through ”a day” (i.e.
”Nychthemeron” = ” a day and a night”) are regulated by so called
”clock-genes”.
B-persons has an inner day-and-night lasting 25-27 hours, whereas A-persons
has one that runs through approximately 23 hours.
Any individual has it´s own inner rythm throgh one day-and-night (”Circadian
rythm”) and it´s own sense of time for time and planning of time. There are
lots of different kinds of circadian rythms. Most people are B-persons, which
means that their circadian rythm has a cycle that runs through 25 hours.
Therfore these persons has a tendency to stretch their ”nychthemeron”.
B-persons finds it easy to stay awake in the evening; but has difficulties
waking up in the morning – the time where the A-persons are most active.
Every human has a so called inner clock, which is regulated by the earlier
mentioned clock-genes.
A B-person has a strive for staying awake untill late at night – for instance,
to go to bed at 1 or 2 a.m. and then sleep a little longer in the morning.
If a B-person and an A-person goes to sleep at the same time, and rise at the
same time early, the morning wil be experienced differently as the body-temperature
of the A-person is higher than that of the B-person at this point. The
B-person therefore has a very good reason for feeling drowsy, as it is still
”night” (”time for sleep”) for the B-person.
Further, one family has been followed and tested for several years in
the USA. They have "FASPS", familial advanced sleep phase syndrome.
See, for example, http://www.hhmi.org/news/ptacek2.html.
A group of scientists has found out that humans that are extremely
A-persons has a genetic flaw or disturbance.
15 – 25 percent of the population are B-persons, 10 -15 percent are A-persons.
The rest of the population are more or less either one or the other, or
something in between.
B-work
B-Society’s is working towards a more flexible labour market.
B-Work is flexible and gives you the possibility to work in accord
to your own rhythm.
There are both good bottom line and higher life quality in B-Work.
B-Society is convinced that it is necessary to force a showdown
over the industrial society’s centralized time discipline, according
to which everybody must come at a particular moment and leave
at a particular moment, and where life is compartmentalized into
time for work, time for family, time for leisure and time for vacations.
There is enormous waste of resources in the society organized
according to the ‘larks’ with rigid office hours and misunderstandings
around efficiency of working time. For today much work is carried
out independently of time and place. More and more people can work
anywhere and at any time, and more and more work is invisible in
the process of production. We should therefore move from Chronos
designating the mechanical and apportioned clock to Kairos
designating the most opportune times for work. Hence, it is about
working at those times when one is being at his or her most productive
instead of being parked at work from one particular moment to
another particular moment in order to demonstrate one’s involvement,
yet then perform the most productive work at home in front of a
computer in the evening hours. It is a fact that it is unproductive for
the ‘owls’ dealing with knowledge, creativity and innovation to be at
work at 8:00 without being present mentally since their productivity is
peaking in the afternoon and in the evening. It is different rhythms of
people that generate good bottom line in the innovation-driven society.
B-Certification
B-Society is working with B-Certification of employers that accept
and respect the working rhythm of the ‘owls’. B-Certification will enable
the ‘owls’ to navigate in the labour market and find those workplaces
that have actually implemented flexible working hours as well as show
respect to and accept of life and work rhythm of the ‘owls’.
B-Society
B-Society will create a new daily rhythm in schools and other
institutions as an alternative to the current rhythm of “early at work
and early at home”.
The society’s time structures based on habits of the early riser’s
are not untouchable natural laws even though it can easily seem so
from looking at the ways in which we have organized our lives. No.
The ‘owl’ has got the right to say: “Give me the late riser’s rhythm at
work, at home and in society. Let me come to work at 11:00 and go
home at 20:00. Let me have quiet mornings to read my newspaper and
ease into the day gently and peacefully”.
B-Politics
B-Society will create a more flexible society that supports the way of life
of the ‘owls’ as well. A society which accepts and respects a later start of
the working day because it suits a person’s individual rhythm and lifestyle.
For it is persons’ different rhythms that underpin the growth of social wealth.
When a person works in accord to his or her rhythm, it will furthermore
result in higher life quality and hence less stress.
It is the widely held opinion that Denmark’s prosperous future will depend
on the inner mental processes: ideas, creativity, innovation and design.
In the innovation-driven society we are paid to think, and mental work is
an inner process that is stimulated most successfully through individual
work rhythms and working hours. It is therefore a matter of working at the
time of the day when an individual’s productivity is at its highest.
There are good social and economical benefits in the acceptance of the
‘owls’ as it creates both life quality and productivity because these persons
can work when they are peaking mentally.

The Guardian: Police hunt for ‘mega’ outdoor party as dance fans tire of legal venues Police hunt for 'mega' outdoor party as dance fans tire of legal venues
· Forces try to track down expected events
· New surge seen as revolt against 'chav' clubs

The Guardian
Police are desperately trying to find out details of a "mega" illegal rave expected to take place in the coming weeks, as forces across the country begin to report a significant resurgence in the free party movement.
First signs of the rebirth of the outdoor rave came last year, but partygoers now appear to be more emboldened to challenge laws brought in 12 years ago by the Conservative government to crush a scene that epitomised the dance and drug culture of the early 90s.
Forces admit there has been a surge in activity, including one party in north Cornwall that was attended by more than 5,000 revellers. Officers are warning landowners and the public to be on their guard after receiving intelligence that large raves may be being planned for weekends in August, particularly over the bank holiday.
The Devon and Cornwall police force is particularly concerned that partygoers will attempt to gather for a large rave in the West Country after the success of the event earlier this summer when revellers were able to sneak on to a disused airfield using a car rally as cover.
On a national level forces are working hard to make sure they share information about raves in the pipeline.
Thames Valley police is using Asbo legislation to try to take out prolific rave organisers, while police in Norfolk, another rave hotspot, this week urged landowners to make sure ravers cannot get access to prime party sites.
The so-called "rebirth of rave" is being put down by enthusiasts as a rebellion against the "chav culture" blighting many clubs and against the sort of music created by the likes of Coldplay...

Drivers beware – "section 165" seizures I've been researching this increasing trend of the Police seizing vehicles at raves
Now rig vans can be seized as evidence they are viewed as "tools used to commit a crime" and this has been going on since the 90s, but reports from the forums imply that cops are seizing normal motor cars that people are using for their everyday transport...
Basically what has happened is a law has come in in 2005 permitting cops (usually a traffic unit) to confiscate any vehicle which is being driven without insurance or the driver having a valid license.
Although the bulk of party people now no longer drive illegally, those who do can easily be pulled up as the cops have better computers, comms and surveillance kit than back in the 90s (and even in the 90s traffic cops had some nice toys...)
Also cops routinely monitor cars being driven late at night by young people, particularly if they appear to be in groups (not even necessarilly a convoy).
There is a lot of CCTV on the roads in this country...and raves are associated with car crime anyway.
So if you get busted in a non-legal vehicle you and your mates could be stranded in the middle of nowhere.....
